Recently I was flipping through the channels on my TV looking for something interesting to watch when I came across someone explaining to someone about Christmas.

Our hope comes through the promises our Father God gave us and Jesus and what He would do and bring for us was the greatest promise of all. It’s not in the things that we have around us, nor riches, not in who our friends or family are, but in ALL that God has promised to us through His Word. I really love how the Message bible describes why we can hope in this.
